Description
Summary:In this study, the spontaneous combustion behavior of stocks created with coals of 3 different particlesizes (0-18/18-28/25-100 mm) was examined for 2 months and the results were analyzed. For this purpose, daily temperature changes in the stockpileswererecorded by means of temperature measurement probes placed in the stocks designed in 2x3x10 m size. According to the results obtained; Coal stocks with grain sizes of 18-25 and 25-100 mm started to catch fire before the end of the first month of storage. While no open flame ignition was observed in the stock with the finest grain size (0-18 mm), at the end of the 2nd month, a temperature increase was observed only at a single point according to the wind direction.
